More than 20 communities across the Federal Capital Territory spent Easter in darkness following a major power outage blamed on a technical fault and an explosion on key electricity feeders.
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company confirmed the disruption, listing affected areas such as Keffi Garage, Dadin Kowa, Gitata, Angwan Rama, Orozo, and Karshi, among others.
It assured residents that technical teams are working urgently to restore supply.
The outage coincided with renewed assurances from the Federal Government on power sector reforms.
Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, disclosed plans to inject 4,000 megawatts into the national grid by 2026 under the Siemens-led Presidential Power Initiative.
He added that another 2,000 megawatts would be targeted this year, in line with economic directives set by the Tinubu administration to boost national electricity capacity.
